Sharepoint 2010 Foundation - Provisioning a page based on a different master page - sharepoint-2010

I was able to add a new master page to Sharepoint 2010 Foundation.
I can see that page in my master page library. However, when I try to provision a new page, I don't have any option to pick this master page. Is there a step mission?

This step isn't available in SharePoint Foundation. You are able to set a custom masterpage by the object model and I guess also with SharePoint Designer.

When export/import a site in sharepoint 2010 (WSS), error occur "A Web Part with this ID has already been added to this page"

I have a webpart, and I insert that webpart into a site of Sharepoint 2010 (WSS).
I save a site as template by that site. After, I create a new site with that site template. I export this site, and after I import it. I see a error in import site:
"A Web Part with this ID has already been added to this page".
Please help me to fix it.
(It work well on MOSS 2010)
Is new site is on the same farm as the originating site?, I would also asume that this is a Team site with Publishing features or a publishing site al togethere right?, if so, basically is having a conflict of GUIDS for a particular web part within a page or layout. If you see most of the site comming up, then is easier, because you could open the page or layout using SPDesigner and change the guids of the added webparts on the page; if not, you might need to crack open the template file and do it there.
Changing the GUIDS might help you to bring the page up, however any change done of the front-end could reverse the changes, so the best option is to edit the page and re-add the web parts, so it takes a new GUID for good.

Integrating my php web application with sharepoint

I've created a php platform that allows users to upload videos and that shows them in categories and so on. It's written in php with a mysql database.
Now i'd like to integrate the system with sharepoint 2010. The main objective is to show the list of videos the way it's shown on my current site, the secondary is to allow the user to add a video from sharepoint to my system, so it can be seen in the sharepoint list too. Third objective, which would be nice to have, is to be able to search the video (on title) from the sharepoint search functionality.
I'm new to sharepoint, but i'm fluent in asp.net and php, so programming would be no issue. I've tried to hack it by trying to show my current site in sharepoint using an iframe on a new page, but sharepoint removes the iframe tag upon save, because it's insecure.
Should i be looking in creating a new Content Type? Or is that an invalid path for my quest?
Sharepoint 2010 includes support for Silverlight applications. Since you're already fluent in .NET, perhaps you could create a Silverlight app to display your videos.

Cannot see "Custom" web part folder SharePoint 2010

I am new on SP 2010 and VS 2010.
After installation of SP, I am able to surf to localhost, and see a page called "Home".
I made a test Visual Web Part, and it deployed fine.
I am able to edit the home page, and see and add the web part from the Custom folder.
I then made a new site, called Foo Site. When I edit its home page, I do not see the web part Custom folder, so I may choose my web part and add it.
Why does the Custom folder show up on one page, when adding a web part, and not on another?
Did you activate the feature on your new site? When you deploy from Visual Studio it will automatically do this based on where your project is configured to deploy it to (which is why you see it on your original site).
